What causes this issue?

You want to perform inspections using material specifications only.
When the system creates an inspection lot, it generates a dummy
operation (with a description and control key) for results recording.
For this reason, a control key must be maintained in Customizing for
the inspection type.
You should also maintain an operation text and operation number. If
this data is not stored in Customizing, the system defines this data in
the program.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Make sure that the customizing table is maintained accordingly.
